Our  final album for 2008 - THE MIX 2009 supplied the soundtrack to the ultimate Hed Kandi weekend, containing a seamless mix of upfront and classic tracks including sixteen brand new original productions and remixes made specifically for the album.

Launching proceedings on CD One with a remix of Estelle’s chart-smashing American Boy are the prolific Soul Seekerz followed nonchalantly by house legends X-Press 2 with the aptly named Lazy. Men of the moment Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris pursue with an exclusive mix of Dance Wiv Me from Australian youngster Shazam whilst Robyn lays her vocal on a shimmering track from Christian Falk with Dream On. Moving on it is more Kandi exclusive remixes of Static Revenger, Ron Gelfer and Afro Medusa, plus Seamus Haji’s rework of At Night by Shakedown and Axwell & Bob Sinclair’s What a Wonderful World featuring Ron Carroll.

On CD Two disco-house doyens Freemasons open with If, mixed effortlessly into Steve Mac’s Lovin’ You More with eSQUIRE’s exclusive Kandi mix, where their magic is worked again on Jason Phats’ Can’t Stop turning round this Michael Jackson classic. Speaking of classics this disc includes Ce Ce Peniston’s Finally reworked from Simmons & Christopher, Robin S’ Show Me Love with Safari on the remix and Beachball brought back to the floor by Grant Nelson exclusively for Hed Kandi.

CD Three in contrast, serves a laid-back melody of chilled, down-tempo and sultry sounds perfect for those feet-up moments after a hard night’s partying. With tracks from Mark Knight, DJ Spen, Jody Watley, Miguel Migs, Justice and Nightmares on Wax you won’t want to leave the sofa as Sunday night draws to a reluctant close. Look out particularly for a very special version of More More More, the Gregg Diamond-penned disc.
